WASHINGTON, Feb 19: The war of words between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and former U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated, adding a new dimension to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump recently accused Zelensky of "misusing U.S. aid" and suggested that his leadership lacks legitimacy, echoing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that Zelensky’s term has expired.
Zelensky wasted no time in firing back, stating that Trump is "trapped in Russian propaganda" and misinformed about Ukraine’s battle for survival. He also criticized recent U.S. peace proposals that, according to him, failed to provide security guarantees for Ukraine. “Unfortunately, President Trump – I have great respect for him as a leader of a nation that we have great respect for, the American people who always support us – unfortunately lives in this disinformation space,” Zelensky said
This verbal clash comes at a crucial moment, as Ukraine faces relentless Russian attacks and desperately seeks continued international support.
US President Donald Trump called Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky “a dictator,” escalating a public war of words between the two leaders that started when Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia. Meanwhile, Trump has hinted at his vision for resolving the war if re-elected, though details remain unclear. With the stakes higher than ever, the world is watching how this political showdown could shape Ukraine’s future.
